What we do

School Aid is a thriving charity that uses surplus educational resources to support and assist education in Africa. We achieve this by taking in unwanted books that would otherwise have been discarded, and we use them with the help of our sponsors to stock libraries, run literacy programmes and benefit under-resourced communities.

All types of donated resources benefit our work: reading and reference books; stationery; games; art supplies; and many other educational materials. UK Schools are the primary source of most of these items; however more and more businesses are also happy to support our cause by offering us their surplus stationery and office supplies.
